After Appointment

After chatting to the orth about my wonky incisors, he investigated the probelm and discovered that something had come loose which is why they had not stayed together in that neat block. He set about correcting it immediately and re-attached another wire behind the teeth to bring them back together. As he did this, he used his fingers to exert pressure on the teeth to push them back into place. Since the appointment these have not been painful and hopefully they will start to come together neatly.

Unfortunately, there still wasn't enough space to connect my lower canine, so I had to have a third spring put into place. He obviously meant business this time as the pain was incredible - even work me up at night and I have noticed a gap appear! This is great news but kind of frustrating - I normally visit the orth every month but this time it's going to be six weeks until my next appointment as I am going on holiday. I would have liked my canine to have been connected but never mind!

These things can't be rushed. You have to be a patient patient!

Orth tomorrow....

I'm going to see my orth tomorrow. Despite having the wire in a figure of eight behind my front incisors keeping them together, they seem to have come out of position and the neat line that was there is gone - they're looking quite wonky again :-( I'll chat to my orth about this tomorrow and get it sorted.

I've had no pain or obvious progress this month which feels a little disheartening to be honest, but it's a work in progress so I must be patient!
